Randy Johnson running his mouth again...

...this time he isnt talking down to reporters doing thier jobs. No, Geoffery the Giraffe calls out his teammates this time.

Check it out: http://www.nypost.com/sports/yankees/26230.htm

What an asswipe! I had no idea how painfully annoying this guy is. And why? Because some reporters were asking the ugly b@stard questions about his back? Oh, the humanity! WTF did he think was going to happen when he signed with NYY? I am really sick of this big goof. He might be the biggest jerkoff malcontent on the Yankees, not named Garroid Sheffield of course.

So Yankee fans...tell me about the Yankee "profesionalism" and the great team chemistry that the Torre clubhouse breeds.

Im tellin' ya...it has been a downhill slide for this big geek since george made him hack off that skullet.

Johnson has a been a prick since the day he came to New York and shoved the camera man's camera out of his face. This guy's just a regular jerk who wants to win another championship and wear pinstripes, like every other major league player, and now he's here and he's sucking it up. Wake up and smell the coffee Randy, you're in New York, you arn't in Arizona where they listen to you're every word, you arn't king of the city / state anymore.

Big Unit fed up

Randy Johnson went into two brief and belligerent soliloquies Sunday morning when asked about the status of his chronic back.

Though he exited Thursday night's game after tweaking his lower back, Johnson said he wasn't going to constantly answer questions about his condition between starts.

Furthermore, a riled-up Johnson put the onus on the starters who were injured and not contributing.

"Worry about the other people who can help out, too,'' said an agitated Johnson, who had just concluded his between-starts throwing session. "Go talk to the people who aren't here. Go talk to Brownie [Kevin Brown].''

Brown was not in the clubhouse Sunday, having flown to Denver for treatment on his own chronic back condition.

In a second round with reporters, Johnson talked about yearly being among the league's leaders in innings pitched, and likened questions about his upcoming starts to questions he gets from his children on long car trips.

"It's like my kids in the back seat [saying], 'Are we there yet? Are we there yet?' I'm fine. I'm here. I'm going to pitch.''

Johnson, 41, threw just 89 pitches Thursday and left for precautionary reasons after six innings. During the inning, Johnson's spike caught the mound, and he awkwardly twisted his back at the end of his delivery.

Manager Joe Torre watched Johnson gingerly cover first base on an inning-ending play, and that was enough. "Being tired is one thing,'' Torre said. "When I see him listing over there at first base, that's different.''

Still, Torre believes that Johnson will be fine for his scheduled start Tuesday, when the Yanks host Minnesota.

"Randy's Randy,'' Torre said. "I guess you're reminding him of how old he is, and that's not fun for him.''

Briefs

Carl Pavano (shoulder) will pitch a rehab start Tuesday, and is slated to return from the disabled list Saturday vs. Anaheim. ... With his fourth-inning double, Robinson Cano ran his hitting streak to 13 games, the longest on the Yankees this season. ... Ruben Sierra (hamstring) could start a rehab assignment next weekend.

You know what ? He is right.

Bout time someone called out Pavano, Brown and Wright.

We all know Johnson is not pitching well. I would even bet that Johnson knows he is not pitching the way he should. Would it suprise me if his groin or his back was bothering him ?

No.

The guy just wants to go out and pitch. He knows that the starting rotation is in shambles right now with Wright and Pavano out and Brown bascially doing his normal pitch three innings get bombed where is my paycheck routine.

I think that the number of threads JBF has started about the Yankees seriously outweighs all the others threads on this board.

Are you kidding me? Sox Fans are obsessed with Yankee greatness. It's a shame there's really no other team to compare the Yankees to but I'm sure if there was an NFL equivalent (say maybe a team with 15 SB rings) then all Jet Fans would hate that team out of jealousy and frustration the way Sox fans hate the Yankees for that same reason.

What many sox fans fail to mention is that the Yankees didn't have the highest payroll in baseball for each of their 4 most recent world championships.

And a little history lesson I learned while reading "the catcher was a spy" which was based on the life of former scrub catcher Moe Berg who spent a good portion of his career with the Red Sox.

Berg mentions at one point playing on a Sox team that was referred to as the "Boston Millionaires" because they had the richest players in baseball. I'm quite confident that having the highest paid players in that era didn't work out all too well since Moe Berg did not play in 1918 or 2004.

I love the Yankee hatred, it makes me grin from ear to ear and grateful for the fact that there is no team in sports that I have to envy like Sox fans do the yankees.

One great year (and yes it was a great year for the Sox) does not erase almost a century of embarasssing putrid baseball. It just doesn't work that way.

I feel the same way when I read JBF's posts. Searching for the point or for humor...are we there yet?

BFD. He is never going to be a cuddly guy. He got tired of being asked the same question by the herd of wildebeasts who follow that Yankees. Would it be better for him to smooze and spoonfeed them cliches of nothing like Schilling?

Once again, Bugg has missed the point of my post. Bugg, how can you assume that I am clammoring for the Big Unit to subject us to boring cliches and such? Apparently Maxman has missed it too, which is par for the course when I post at a highly cerebral level.

My point is that I dont want to hear another peep out of the Yankee $kankees on this board about the "Yankee way" and the storied legacy of the Pinstripes. And...it wouldnt kill you all to admit that this group truly is a bunch of gutless, $oulless, geriatric, malcontent thugs...but I'll take not hearing about the "Yankee way" anymore.

Oh, and I need you all to recognize that not only is this an aging group of future HOFers that probably CANT get it done this year...they are also a bitterly divided clubhouse with cancers a plenty. With so many jerks under one roof...theyre bound to hate each other.

Think about it. We know A-hole and Jetes hate each other. Now, the Big Eunich hates Brown, Pavano, and Wright. Everyone has to hate Sheffield. To know him is to hate him. Giamboo and Tino hate each other. Torre and Sierra hate each other. The bullpen have got to be looked down upon by the everyday thugs. And fat george hates the whole team and the front office. Finally, you poor saps have to endure what the rest of us have had to put up with forever!

If anyone really believes in chemistry, they really need to get with reality and not believe everything they read in the papers. I doubt any Yankee from the batboys to Cashman and Steinbrenner feel any differently than Unit's statement about Brown.

Again, chemistry is nonsense invented by lazy sportswriters. Sports teams may get paid better, but it's still not that different than any workplace. Sheffield's a comment away from making a jerk of himself; A-rod and Jeter aren't pals; Giambi spends his time between DH ABs looking at porno; the whole pitching staff hates Posada; nobody likes Mussina or Brown and vice versa. This is news? And it has nothing to do with what happens on the field.

I doubt Schilling, Manny and Millar are nearly as beloved as you might think. Which also means very little.

Oh...all of a sudden, the Yankee fans are quick to diminish the role of chemistry in professional sports teams. Hmmm...I wonder why that is the case. All we heard from 1996-2000 was that the Yanks won because of professionalism, spending money wisely and team chemistry!

Let's Forget for a second that "The positive merits of team chemistry" was not my original argument and that Bugg has taken it upon himself to alter the course of my thread. Every single GM in pro sports takes the "how would he fit into our clubhouse" factor into account. Why would you suggest otherwise. Not only does team chemistry directly impact performance...but it has a trickle down effect from the manager/HC on down...

The Yankees have played TOTALLY flat more often in 2005 than they have EVER since the "steinbrenner era of ruining baseball" began and that is because of age...and a lack of team chemistry

Im not going to read any of that.....I know it says the yankees suck in the most arrogant way possible.

But if the Yankees suck WTF do the redsox do?

Jet/Bosux fan will make the biggest statement of them all when he doesn't show up for 3 months after the sox get eliminated this yr.

I read that book in like 7th or 8th grade. Great, interesting book.

Very well put Brenda...perhaps he can grease it with the gel he used to lather up his SKULLET with until fat george made him cut it off

Seriously, JBF, do you realize how ridiculous you sound. The Red Sox are filled with players whose mouths are open more often than not, and are notorious for making retarded statements. Johnson says one thing and is pissed at reporters asking the same question over and over to him while other Yankee pitchers actually are hurt, and you bitch and moan about it. You can't complain about this until you admit that Curt Schilling, Johnny Damon, Kevin Millar, and others are all f*cking tards.
